Bankai, Wild...
Hearing Unohana Retsu's shout, Tsuna slowly typed a question mark. Wasn't he just not in a hurry? Why is he suddenly going to intervene and stop this battle?
"Look around."
The surrounding walls and houses, starting from the top, were gradually turning into Reishi and disappearing.
Tsuna was aware of this situation, which is the most direct manifestation of Soya Ashirogi drawing upon the power of the Seireitei to fight.
Is Unohana Retsu really getting restless? Tsuna thought she had expected this all along.
"If you want to stop Soya Ashirogi, just shout here. He can return all his power, so don't panic," Tsuna calmly.
"Not the surrounding buildings, but the area around Captain Zaraki!"
Unohana Retsu Tsuna him that something was indeed unusual about Zaraki's surroundings. It was a tangible killing intent, as intense as blood, that was slowly wrapping around Kenpachi Zaraki.
Unohana Retsu was also a butcher in the past, so she knew a lot about killing intent, which is why she noticed Kenpachi Zaraki's abnormality immediately.
"This isn't right. If we let our killing intent get the better of us, we'll lose ourselves!" Unohana was very experienced, which was why she called Tsuna.
If Kenpachi Zaraki were to completely lose himself in the killing intent, he would become a ferocious beast through and through, and we would lose Kenpachi for nothing. That would not be acceptable.
Tsuna, who understood what Unohana Retsu meant, was about to get up and act with her when he heard a low growl from Kenpachi Zaraki.
"Bankai..."
A blood-red killing intent devoured Kenpachi Zaraki like a gaping maw. The string of reason was gradually snapping. He bent over, crawled on the ground, two horns sprouted from his forehead, and his skin turned blood red, like a demon that only knew how to kill.
This time, Tsuna and Unohana Retsu each other; they acted simultaneously, appearing on either side of Zaraki.
The moment they landed, Zaraki's killing intent surged towards the two of them.
Unohana Retsu drew her Bankai, releasing the Blood Pool of Everything's Gone. At the same time, Tsuna also used his Rain-attribute Bankai, and a Koume drizzle fell on Kenpachi Zaraki, seemingly having a Sedation effect.
"Wake up, Kenpachi Zaraki!" Unohana Retsu's rebuke carried supreme authority, instantly halting Zaraki's descent into darkness.
Kenpachi Zaraki, soaked by the rain, gradually calmed down, his reason had been consumed by too much, and now he only had one goal left.
"Destroy... Seireitei..."
Upon hearing Kenpachi Zaraki's words, Tsuna didn't know where to begin his retort. The clever one, however, realized that Zaraki was still fighting Soya Ashirogi and even deduced the equivalent formula between Soya Ashirogi and the Seireitei.
Anyone with a slower mind could easily condemn Kenpachi Zaraki to the Muken based on just one sentence from him.
"If you want war, then let's fight."
Tsuna overlooked the fact that the Soya Ashirogi a hothead. Upon hearing Kenpachi Zaraki's declaration, he immediately summoned five giant dragons and charged towards Zaraki, all the while warning Tsuna and the others.
"Unauthorized personnel, please leave the area immediately!"
The voice of Soya Ashirogi led Kenpachi Zaraki to his target. He swung his sword in Soya Ashirogi's direction, and all the dragons that had fallen from the sky perished. Even Soya Ashirogi himself was affected by the impact.
Immediately afterward, Kenpachi Zaraki Soya Ashirogi pounced on Soujiro in the sky like a wild beast, his ferocious mouth wide open, making it seem to anyone who didn't know better that Zaraki was about to attack with a bite.
Tsuna and Unohana Retsu exchanged a glance. "I'm Zaraki. You go wake the other guy up."
The two disappeared simultaneously. Unohana Retsu's blood pool transformed into countless crimson whips that bound the Soya Ashirogi, while Tsuna engaged in battle with Kenpachi Zaraki using his twin swords.
This Kenpachi Zaraki is not the Kenpachi from the original story. He has been trained by Tsuna and Unohana Retsu from time to time, and has developed his own beast-like instinctive swordsmanship. In addition, with his beast-like Bankai, even Tsuna cannot detect the way Kenpachi Zaraki strikes.
After only a few moves, Tsuna had sustained various injuries, while the wounds he inflicted on Zaraki were gradually being healed by his bloodied skin.
With just a few moves, Tsuna realized that the Kenpachi Zaraki in this state was for him to use Beyond Bankai.
However, the portion of Hollow power within Tsuna's body hasn't fully recovered, so he can't use anything Beyond Bankai for the time being. As for the true Bankai, Tsuna isn't planning to kill Kenpachi Zaraki, so there's no need to use that kind of power.
This is also why Tsuna didn't ask Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto to intervene. In a battle of this intensity, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto couldn't be sure that he could hold back while Kenpachi Zaraki's life.
Only Tsuna, with his rain-attribute power, is willing to take the risk.
Now, all we can do is trust Kenpachi Zaraki's self-control. Intense Rain Flame erupted from Tsuna's twin swords, and with a single slash, the flames soared into the sky, instantly turning the Koume into a torrential downpour.
Bathed in the rain, Tsuna swung his sword at Zaraki.
Shigure Soen Ryu: Soul-Suppressing Rain!
By maximizing the power of Sedation, one can suppress all forces of change, and equally suppress all evil thoughts.
"Once this is all over, you absolutely have to treat me to dinner in the aristocratic district!" Tsuna said fiercely.
In the sudden downpour, Kenpachi Zaraki's movements gradually came to a halt. His Zanpakuto was only a hair's breadth away from Tsuna's head, just a hair's breadth away from splitting Tsuna in two.
However, Kenpachi Zaraki's Bankai state remained unchanged, and he continued to roar at Tsuna in his demon form.
Unohana Retsu's situation is relatively easier. Soya Ashirogi's goal is simply to obtain Kenpachi's position; fighting against the other members of Seireitei is not something he wants to do.
Unohana Retsu simply carried her sword to Soya Ashirogi, Soya Ashirogi stopped. However, the flying dragon in the sky did not disappear; he was waiting for an answer from Kenpachi Zaraki.
Kenpachi Zaraki wants to fight, Soya Ashirogi will continue to challenge Kenpachi. Kenpachi Zaraki stops, he will choose to follow the advice of the Seireitei.
Unohana Retsu appeared beside Tsuna. Kenpachi Zaraki's condition made her frown. "Captain Zaraki's condition is very unstable. If he can't find himself, he may become a killing machine."
Unohana Retsu also went through this state, once degenerating into a sword demon who only knew how to kill, and even earned the title of a great villain in Soul Society.
Later, with the help of Yamamoto Shigekuni, he regained his sanity and poured all his blood and killing intent into his Bankai. It was at that time that Unohana Retsu chose to follow Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and become the captain of the Gotei 13.
"Wake him up? That's not difficult." Tsuna switched to his Bankai form, and wisps of mist entered his body with Zaraki's breath.
"Kenpachi!"
Kenpachi Zaraki was immersed in boundless power, suddenly awoke. He was absolutely certain that he hadn't misheard; it was Yachiru Kusajishi calling him.
"Yachiru! Where are you? It's time to go back!" Kenpachi Zaraki shouted to those around him, but he couldn't find Yachiru anywhere.
However, Yachiru's voice kept coming, "Kenpachi... wake up..."
Kenpachi Zaraki's consciousness gradually broke free from the envelopment of killing intent and began to gradually take control of his body.
From the outside, the crimson color on Kenpachi Zaraki's body was rapidly fading, his demonic appearance was gradually degenerating, and his eyes were gradually becoming clear.
"Are you awake now?" Tsuna withdrew his power and looked up at Soya Ashirogi, asking, "This battle should end here. What do you think? Continuing to fight won't be good for either of you."
The outcome is unknown. If the fight continues, it's hard to say whether Kenpachi Zaraki's overwhelming attack power will turn the Seireitei to ashes first, or whether Soya Ashirogi will exhaust Zaraki's life force first.
This is not the time to risk everything; there is no need to fight with your life on the line against Seireitei.
"Actually, I wanted more autonomy. Now that the battle is over and my challenge has failed, I'll follow Captain-Commander Kyōraku's orders." Soya Ashirogi was quite open-minded; the title of Kenpachi was just a goal, not his whole life.
"Don't worry, Kyōraku has already figured out where you'll be. But before that, you need to familiarize yourself with how to work in a squad," Tsuna explained.
"I will study hard..."
Soya Ashirogi himself knew his weaknesses, which is why he wanted to join the Squad 11. If it was just about fighting, there wouldn't be so many complicated procedures.
However, learning isn't too much of a burden for Soya Ashirogi now. With his complete vision of the Seireitei, learning how other Bleach handle team affairs and interact with colleagues is a piece of cake for him.
"Since you've chosen to join Seireitei, I still have to remind you that your abilities are extremely exaggerated. I suspect that Kyōraku will also impose restrictions on your abilities, otherwise, your power alone, which covers the entire Seireitei, would be enough for all the female Bleach to hunt you down."
Tsuna kindly reminded them that Soya Ashirogi's abilities were too intrusive for those living in Seireitei, offering them no privacy whatsoever.
Such abilities would make him adept at intelligence gathering, but if he were to engage in espionage, Soya Ashirogi might meet a very quick end.
"I understand, and I also intend to do so. I will have the Captain-Commander leave a restriction on Uro Zakuro to limit my abilities, which cannot be lifted without the Captain-Commander's permission."
Ignoring Uro Zakuro's protests, Soya Ashirogi directly stated his own plan.
"It's fine if you have ideas, you can discuss these things with Kyōraku." Tsuna skillfully shifted the blame to Kyōraku. Kyōraku is the Captain-Commander of the Seireitei; if he doesn't work hard, is Tsuna supposed to?
After exchanging a few words with Soya Ashirogi, Kenpachi Zaraki's Bankai was completely dispelled. Having regained control of his body, he screamed with all his might, "Yachiru, come out! It's time to go back!"
Kenpachi Zaraki's voice echoed in the Squad 11 for a long time without any response. The members of the Squad 11 dared not approach, for they had all seen the Shinigami Uniform and the Vice-Captain's armband displayed under the courtyard wall.
